Namaste Bae Blessings and Kombucha, performed by Rob van Vuuren and directed by Louw Venter, takes place on Friday November 24, at 7.30pm (PG 13).
A healing ceremony unlike any you’ve ever experienced brought to you by the new age satirical guru taking social media by storm.
Some say he was born with a bottle of kombucha in one hand and a yoga mat in the other during a Vedic Shadow Planet eclipse. Some say he takes all the psychedelics so you don’t have to. Some say he is still looking for a ticket to Burning Man.
Whatever they say, Namaste Bae is the guru you both need and deserve. A self-proclaimed oracle of the Mother Scoby, Namaste Bae will help you find yourself inside yourself and with the power of comedic catharsis he will help you give birth to a better version of yourself. Tickets cost R180 and R200.
And on Sunday November 26, at 4pm, is Oom Schalk and The Sculptor - with David Muller joined by Johan Steyn, directed by the inimitable Celia Musikanth.
